At A Business India, accuracy and credibility are central to our journalism. We aim to verify material facts before publication and clearly distinguish confirmed information from estimates, opinions, projections and unverified claims.
This Fact-Checking Policy explains the standards followed by abusinessindia.com when verifying news and information.
Our Fact-Checking Approach
Before publication, our editorial team makes reasonable efforts to verify important facts, including names, dates, figures, quotations, company announcements, financial results, market data and government or regulatory decisions.
The level of verification may vary depending on the nature of the story, availability of information and urgency of the news.
Breaking and developing stories may be updated as additional verified information becomes available.
Primary Sources
Where reasonably available, we give preference to primary and authoritative sources.
These may include:
- Stock exchange and regulatory filings
- Company announcements and financial results
- Government notifications and official releases
- RBI, SEBI and other regulatory communications
- Court orders and official documents
- Parliamentary and government data
- Official company websites and statements
- Interviews and direct responses
- Recognised stock exchange and market data
- Secondary sources, including credible news agencies, research reports and established publications, may also be used where appropriate.
Verification of Financial Data
Financial and business information requires particular care because incorrect figures can materially change the meaning of a story.
We seek to verify important figures such as revenue, profit, losses, market capitalisation, shareholding, IPO size, issue price, subscription levels, stock prices, interest rates, inflation, GDP and other economic indicators against reliable sources.
Where calculations are performed by our editorial team, we seek to ensure that the underlying data and methodology are accurate.
Stock Market Information
Stock prices, index movements, percentage changes, trading volumes and other market information may change rapidly.
Where appropriate, market-related articles should clearly indicate the relevant trading session, period or context.
Technical views, price targets, support and resistance levels and trading recommendations attributed to analysts are treated as opinions or forecasts rather than established facts.
Company Announcements
Information concerning listed companies should, wherever reasonably possible, be checked against stock exchange filings, regulatory disclosures or official company communications.
Claims made by companies in press releases, interviews or statements may be attributed to the company rather than presented as independently established facts where appropriate.
Government and Regulatory Information
For significant policy, taxation, banking, regulatory and economic developments, we seek to rely on official notifications, circulars, government releases, regulator communications or statements from authorised officials wherever available.
When a proposal has not yet become a final rule or law, we aim to identify it appropriately as a proposal, draft, recommendation or expected development.
Quotations
Direct quotations should accurately reflect the words of the person or organisation being quoted.
Minor editing for obvious typographical errors may be undertaken where it does not change the intended meaning.
We do not knowingly fabricate quotations or attribute statements to individuals who did not make them.
Anonymous Sources
Anonymous sources may be used where the information is newsworthy and there is a legitimate reason to protect the source’s identity.
Where possible, important information provided by anonymous sources should be independently verified or supported by documentary evidence or additional credible sources.
Research Reports and Expert Views
A Business India may report findings, forecasts and recommendations from brokerage houses, rating agencies, economists, research organisations and industry experts.
Such information should be appropriately attributed.
Forecasts, estimates, target prices and opinions should not be presented as established facts.
Social Media Verification
Information appearing on social media is not automatically treated as verified merely because it has been widely shared.
For material claims originating on social platforms, we seek to establish the authenticity of the account, post, statement, image or other material and look for confirmation from reliable sources where necessary.
Images and Visual Material
Photographs, videos, charts and other visual material should not knowingly be presented in a misleading context.
Representative or illustrative images may be used where appropriate. Such visuals should not be presented in a manner that falsely suggests they depict the actual event being reported.
AI-generated or digitally created visuals should not be used to fabricate evidence of real-world events.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence and other digital tools may be used to assist with research, transcription, translation, data processing, editing, summaries or other newsroom tasks.
Information generated or suggested by AI tools should not automatically be treated as a verified source.
Material factual claims intended for publication should, where appropriate, be checked against reliable sources. AI tools must not be used knowingly to fabricate facts, quotations, documents, sources or events.
Breaking News
During breaking news situations, information can change rapidly and official confirmation may not immediately be available.
We aim to clearly distinguish confirmed information from preliminary reports, claims or estimates.
Articles may be updated, corrected or expanded as reliable information becomes available.
Corrections
Despite reasonable verification efforts, errors may occasionally occur.
When a material factual error is identified and confirmed, we aim to correct it promptly in accordance with our Correction Policy.
Significant corrections may include an appropriate correction or update note explaining the change.
Reader Submissions and Correction Requests
Readers who believe an article contains inaccurate or misleading factual information are encouraged to contact A Business India.
Please provide the article headline or URL, identify the information believed to be incorrect and, wherever possible, provide reliable evidence supporting the correction.
Our editorial team will review credible correction requests and make changes where warranted.
